Distributed in Herb. H. f. and T. as a local form of H latifolium, which it 
closely resembles. The nut is usually glandular-punctate, pitted rugose or nearly 
smooth.

broad, panicle compound dense, spikelets often of three glumes (besides 
the bracteole), style 2-fid, fertile nut large brown purple punctate, beak

Thwaites subsequently (in ms.) separated this as a distinct species. "The two 
boat-shaped squamellz are lateral (as in all the Mapaniee) ; the third extra glume 
7 fat concave thin without keel on the anterior side of the spikelet within the 
ŝquamellæ. A similar extra glume occurs frequently in several of the large American 
Hypolytree ; thus indicating an approach to Thoracostachyum.
